2..A “single piece” of material includes curtainwall assemblies, unitized glazing systems and similar construction units. 3..Vacuum pads made from a heat-resistant rubber compound can enable you to lift loads with higher surface temperatures. Contact WPG or an authorized dealer for more information.
1..Although lifter use may be possible at higher elevation, lifting capacity is reduced whenever the lifter is unable to attain vacuum in the green range on the vacuum gauge. Contact WPG for more information. 2..Special provisions may allow the lifter to operate outside the specified temperature range. Contact WPG for more information. MRTA(4)6LP6FAC: #35259...
OPERATION EFORE SING THE IFTER Determine whether the vacuum lifter is capable of each intended task (see “SPECIFICATIONS” “INTENDED USE”). Then complete the following preparations: Taking Safety Precautions • Be trained in all industry Read all directions and safety rules before using and regulatory standards lifter.
OPERATION OSITION OVABLE Position the movable pad arms to maximize load support and minimize load overhang (see “L ”): HARACTERISTICS Pull and hold the pad arm release (arrow in fig. 1A inset), to disengage the arm. Rotate the arm to the desired position (fig.
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Generating Airflow Place the power switch in the “on” position (fig. 1A), to engage the vacuum pump. The lifter is designed for the vacuum pump to run continuously. Placing Keep pump the power switch in the “off” position during lifter operation could result running in a load release and personal injury (see “In Case of a Power Failure”...
1..Although a vacuum pad may become distorted during shipping or storage, this condition should correct itself with continued use. 2..If the lifter is used above the maximum Operating Elevation (see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3), it may not be able to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting. Contact WPG for more information. MRTA(4)6LP6FAC: #35259...
OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Lift bar must be vertical to lift load. About the Tilt Linkage The tilt linkage minimizes operator effort and Unbalanced loads may tilt automatically holds a balanced load in either unexpectedly during lifter operation. the upright or the flat position. However, an Make sure load is positioned unbalanced load may tilt unexpectedly, correctly on lifter.
OPERATION Controlling the Lifter and Load When the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed. Use a control handle (circled in fig. 1A) to keep the lifter and load in the required position. Once there is enough clearance, you may move the load as required.
OPERATION OTATE THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to rotate without contacting anyone or anything. Use a control handle to Unbalanced loads may rotate unexpectedly when keep the load under rotation latch is disengaged.
OPERATION ILT THE Keep hands and fingers away from tilt linkage. 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything. 2) Use the control handles to keep the load under control at all times. 3) Lift upward or press downward on the tilt control handle (arrows in figs.
OPERATION ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. Push the vacuum release button ( — fig. 1A), to break the vacuum seal. Do not move lifter until pads release completely, because such movement could result in load damage or personal injury.
OPERATION Storing the Lifter Disconnect the electrical connectors (figs. 1A-B). Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean (fig. 2A). CE/UKCA — To prevent the lifter from tipping over on relatively horizontal surfaces, place the vacuum pads facedown on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Be careful to protect the vacuum pads while tilting it to the horizontal position.
2..The Periodic Inspection is also required whenever the lifter has been out of service for 1 year or more. Keep a written record of all Periodic Inspections. If necessary, return the lifter to WPG or an authorized dealer for repair (see “REGISTRATION AND LIMITED...
12" Hg [-41 kPa] for 5 minutes. If not, lifting this load requires additional precautions (eg, a load sling). Contact WPG for more information. 8) Lower the load after 5 minutes or before the vacuum level diminishes to 12" Hg [-41 kPa].
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS Perform the following tests before placing the lifter in service initially, following any repair, when directed in the “I ”, or whenever necessary: NSPECTION CHEDULE Operational Tests Test all features and functions of the lifter (see “OPERATING FEATURES” and “OPERATION”). Vacuum Test 1) Clean the face of each vacuum pads (see “Pad...
7) Prepare a written report of the test and keep it on file. 1..An equivalent simulation may also be used. Contact WPG for more information. 2..A “qualified person” has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work, either by possessing a recognized degree in an applicable field or a certificate of professional standing, or by possessing extensive knowledge, training and experience.
MAINTENANCE Note: Refer to SERVICE MANUAL #35275 when applicable. ACUUM AINTENANCE Pad-to-Load Friction Coefficient The friction coefficient represents the lifter's ability to resist load slippage. The Maximum Load Capacity is based on a friction coefficient of 1, as determined by testing of clean, new, standard rubber vacuum pads on clean, dry, regular glass.
4) Allow each pad to dry completely before using the lifter. 1..A brush with bristles that do not harm rubber can help remove contaminates clinging to sealing edges. If these cleaning methods are not successful, contact WPG or an authorized dealer for assistance. MRTA(4)6LP6FAC: #35259...
